Moving to Perak after retirement?

Hmm....after many years of working in Kuala Lumpur and approaching retirement, brings to mind where should I stay when I retire. Hey wait, I do intend to continue working but to remain in KL? I have been considering to move back to Taiping or Ipoh. Of the two, Ipoh appears to be the better option because it is in between Taiping and KL. It is also near to Cameron Highlands (my favourite holiday spot) and also to Lumut/Pangkor. Penang is also not that far away. So, if I have any jobs in KL or Penang, I could easily reach the two cities in good time. With the ETS train service, I do not need to drive. Just hop on the train, relax until I arrive at my destination. Well, got to do some research on properties in Ipoh.
